AUTOMATIC TRAFFIC RULES ABIDING CONTROL: AN IDEA FOR ACCIDENT-FREE WORLD

Abstract

The World is moving so fast, so that impatience is seen in every sector. This has increased entropy in breaking the rules, and thereby increasing the number of accidents. Hence, to control the accidents, each vehicle is provided with a microcontroller 8051. The microcontroller kit is used to continuously monitor the speed of the vehicle and data is logged for every second. The acceleration of the vehicle is calculated continuously. The Signal status and time is transmitted to the vehicle at a certain distance infront of the signal through RF Transmitter. The microcontroller once receiving this data via RF Receiver takes up the current speed and acceleration in the calculation and finds the possible distance which the vehicle can cover with that particular speed and time.

This distance is then compared with the *cover distance. Based on the result, the signal is sent to the driver, and a message is displayed in LCD Screen. In the negative case, if the driver doesn’t react for 2 seconds the vehicle is made to stop before the signal, by sending an interrupt. Here, in the positive case, the vehicle functions as such manual drive. If the driver has reacted, then the control remains with the driver. With the control being automated, the fuel supplied to the vehicle is reduced. By this way, the power driving the vehicle is cut. Based on the load in the vehicle, the brakes are applied automatically.

The connection with each controller is cut as soon as it crosses the signal. The range of the transmission is set such. By this way, the drivers are made to abide by the rules, and hence the accidents can be prevented in the real world. The work is most successful in the case of electric vehicles, where the speed of the vehicle is reduced just by decreasing the supply to the motor. An intermediate module is used to control the speed by varying the supply.
